Managing Access to Next-Generation Dashboards
Next-generation dashboards in Tracker use Power BI, a business analytics service from Microsoft. Power BI provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities in a simple user interface.
Tracker Coordinators and Company System Administrators can edit their users' profiles to enable their ability to use dashboards. Company System Administrators and Tracker coordinators can also set a next-generation dashboard as a user's Tracker home page.
Required role | System Administrator or Tracker Coordinator
note
Microsoft Internet Explorer is no longer supported for use with Power BI. Next-generation dashboard users should upgrade to a current browser, such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
